Chapter 30: The Slave Trade

In a conference room in the Republic of Falot.

The room was filled with the Chancellor of Finance of the Republic of Fallot, as well as businessmen from other Western countries.

In short, the Skinning Gang's clean-up war, which was full of war smoke and gunpowder, has come to an end, and all the citizens of China have been safely returned to the motherland.

After the relationship between the two countries has eased to some extent, it is time to sit down and talk about business.

The bunny's commissary began to open to the long-coveted Republic of Falot.

The elite of the Republic of Faro took an extraordinary interest in the arms of the country, which possessed powerful weapons that could be deflated by the dragons they were proud of.

It's a pity that at this stage, Huaguo does not plan to sell them for the time being, and this time the business is only about various infrastructure for civilian use, as well as the export trade of goods.

On the Faro side, the settlement is made with various raw materials.

"Your country seems to be very dissatisfied with the outcome of the deal."

The head maid was also a participant in the trade conference, but she was only a pure spectator.

If the head of the house was still there, maybe the head maid would buy some rabbit souvenirs for her master, but now that Count Cecia was about to become a rabbit souvenir, she was really not in the mood to buy anything at this trade fair.

"We didn't have much hope for this trade conference."

Zhao Chen and the head maid stood in the corner of the conference room together, and the negotiating diplomats sent by Hua Guo gave the finance minister of the Republic of Falot a large stack of export product statements that Hua Guo could provide.

This report was originally intended to be presented on a tablet, considering that people in this world have never touched electronic products, and finally made a catalog thick enough to be used to smash people.

This export report was translated into the languages of several countries and carried by diplomats who went to each country to rescue their compatriots.

When the rescue mission is completed, the diplomats communicate with the local country... Just by the way, I said, "We have a lot of good things in our commissary, don't you?" ’

"But... I look at the trade orders that have been signed with your country now... Not less. ”

From the moment she entered, the head maid saw the Chancellor of the Exchequer signing some trade orders.

"These are just clearing our backlog of goods, if we really want to start trading... It will take a long time for you, and the countries of your allies, to fully digest our exports. ”

Zhao Chen is also unclear about the state of domestic trade.

But the biggest challenge faced by Hua Guo when he suddenly came to this dragon vein world was two, one was to bring home the scattered Hua compatriots, which was Zhao Chen's task.

The other is to alleviate the domestic economic crisis, in this regard, according to the intelligence known to Zhao Chen, the country has now entered a very strict state of economic control.

But even so, many domestic companies are also facing the risk of bankruptcy, which leads to a large number of people losing their jobs.

Just as Zhao Chen was thinking about this, a few people suddenly came to the conference room... Eye-catching figure.

Those figures were brought into the conference room by a merchant from the Ainlan Empire, Zhao Chen's brows furrowed when he saw it, and the head maid's expression became slightly subtle.

Those people wore the same maid clothes as the head maid, but the fabric looked cheaper, and their status was much lower than that of the head maid.

They weren't even citizens of the Republic of Falot, but... Slave.

Judging by their dark brown skin, they were not black, but more Indian.

Although the women wore simple maid clothes, their feet were restrained by shackles.

"Haven't you finished abolition yet?" Zhao Chen lowered his voice and asked the head maid.

"No," the head maid also felt that this barbaric act was very embarrassing, and she explained in a low voice, "The abolition of slavery was led by the Ainland Empire more than ten years ago, but then I don't know why... It was put on hold, perhaps because of the unique talent of these printers..."

"Talent?"

When Zhao Chen heard this word, he could probably guess the reason why the abolitionist movement did not rise in this world.

The slave trade was stopped in the original world by England a hundred years ago.

The reason for the suspension was not the sudden discovery of the conscience of the British and Western robbers, but because of the rise of the Industrial Revolution...

The industrial machine replaced the cheap labor of the slave, and a slave was far less valuable than a skilled worker.

So the capitalists in the West turned around and exploited the workers, and the slave trade naturally began to decline.

But the world is different.

The existence of the Skinning Gang has reminded Zhao Chen... The flesh and soul of the people of this world can be supplied to the dragon vein.

So the slave trade was preserved, and it intensified.

"I don't know if your country is interested in these commodities, they are absolutely obedient, and they know how to communicate with wild beasts and have the ability to control plants, and a piece of farmland can be multiplied several times with them as a feeder."

The merchant from Ainland enthusiastically introduced the 'role' of these slaves to the Chinese diplomats.

The ability of these slaves to double the production capacity of the fields did make the diplomats of China slightly moved, but only for a moment, they rejected the product promotion from the Ainland merchants in a timely manner.

Zhao Chen didn't want to interfere with the decisions of the Chinese diplomats, but one of the slaves glanced at everyone in the conference room, and finally met Zhao Chen.

Earth Spirits?!

When Zhao Chen and the slave girl looked at each other, they instantly recognized that her race was not a human race, but an earth spirit born from a land.

How could the spirits be sold as slaves?

Zhao Chen quickly took a look at the dress of the earth spirit girl, her leg cuffs and clothes didn't fit well, and it was obvious that she had changed into it temporarily.

This earth spirit girl also hides her aura as an earth spirit.

If it weren't for Zhao Chen's keen perception talent for earth spirits, he might not have discovered her abnormality.

Earth spirits from the American continent? Will they be able to get out of their own realm?

Anyway, Zhao Chen immediately used the radio to communicate with Consul Gu, who was communicating with trade.

"Can Consul Gu buy those slaves?" Zhao Chen asked.

"Team Zhao... This... Are you trying to save them? Consul Gu suddenly became a little embarrassed.

"Salvation is one thing, and on the other hand, we need to know the route to the Americas, either to ask the merchants of Ainland, or to ask the inhabitants of these native Americas."

Zhao Chen's rescue plan in the Republic of Falot was completed, and other compatriots in the Western countries were also sent back to China one after another.

But in the Americas, the compatriots in Oceania are still in a state of siege.

The marine environment of this world is much harsher than the original world, and all seas are inhabited by extremely dangerous sea monsters.

The frequent extreme thunderstorms over the sea make all aircraft dare not rashly carry out any cross-sea flights.

Therefore, if the rescue forces of China want to go to the Americas, they need to find a safe route.

This route is now in the hands of the Ainland Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

In particular, the Ainland Empire has become the strongest hegemon in Eurasia by relying on the development of the Americas.

When Consul Gu heard that it was for the rescue mission, he had no choice but to draw up a simple trade order with the merchant of Ainland with a cold face.

But when Consul Gu asked about the route to the Americas, the merchant from Ainland naturally chose to avoid it.

This is the lifeblood of their country's development, and this businessman will definitely not tell outsiders to get a piece of the pie for no reason.

The business meeting ended in this slightly tense atmosphere...

Those businessmen from Western countries were not so much here to discuss business as to test the foundation of China.

The Western countries still did not give up the idea of invading Great Xia, and even if Hua gave them a head-on blow, they were only afraid to avoid it for the time being.

When the rescue forces first rescue the compatriots trapped all over the world and return home safely, China will have enough time to educate them.
